I just learned that he died due to injuries sustained from a motorcycle wreck. Apparently, he'd swerved to avoid some kids on bicycles, was thrown over the handlebars, and got busted up pretty bad. A paper (or something) at the time called it "avoidable" as well. If you ask me, that seems a rather undignified death after all he had done, but on the bright side, his death inspired a doctor to study motorcycle deaths, which lead to the use of helmets by civilian _and_ military riders.
I was depressed after reading about Lawrence's life after the first war. He really fought for what he believed in and was betrayed by his own government to the point of refusing all the fame he deservedly earned. And he died in such an unfortunate way.
In death he saved countless others. The doctor examining his body was inspired to study head impacts and thus the science, creation, and perfection of motorcycle helmets began. A motorcycle helmet saved me from a full face impact with a bird at 55 MPH. He did not die in vain.
@@cringefest4999 You must read the Seven Pillars. Lawrence was sent to Africa to free the countries from the Ottoman domain with the promise that these countries would be free. It was with this promise that he gained the trust of regional leaders. However, when the Ottomans were expelled, European countries led by England dominated the newly liberated countries, imposing dictators almost or even as cruel as the Ottoman dominators. Proof of Lawrence's disillusionment with the government is that he refused all military honors and patents that he would be entitled to because he felt ashamed for what he helped to do to the African peoples.
@@Ajvt-ux4ec You are (half)correct. Yes, he was know "Lawrence of Arabia" for his actions in Saudi Arabia and arabian peninsulas countries. But he was also in África (Egypt and Libya), and oficially the first place he was send to, as british soldier, was Cairo (Egypt).
“All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake up in the day to find it was vanity, but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.” Of your gift.” - Thomas Edward Lawrence.
I'm honestly perplexed by the fact that Sabaton makes such amazing and catchy songs, i don't even like metal that much and Sabaton is definitely my favourite music band
Even if we occasionally think 'as the darkness calls and Arabia falls' when humming this to ourselves. … I feel like that says something horrible about me. :(
There's one Lawrence quote that I'm sad I didn't see in this video. Lawrence became aware of the nascent Sykes-Picot Agreement in mid-1916, and being an idealist who thoroughly believed in the Arab independence revolt, it started devouring him from inside. In a message to Colonel Gilbert Clayton, his handler, he wrote: “Clayton. I’ve decided to go off alone to Damascus, hoping to get killed on the way: for all sakes try and clear this show up before it goes further. We are calling them to fight for us on a lie, and I can’t stand it.” --T. E. Lawrence, June 5, 1916
"I'm popping off to Damascus for a bit, see if I can catch a bullet or maybe a bomb. See to it you fix this fuck up while I'm dead, cuz it's bullshit." The man says in all but plain text, because he's a proper British gentleman.

When a man from a colonial country wants independence for the people who were being ruled by his own brothers..... History will never forget this legend and Lawrence fought for the people of Arabia and for the people of Asia. Lawrence will be always in our heart
sabatoge not for his brothers that was his mission. arabs then hated him after he returned to his country claiming he joined the fight like a man.but in fact he was just watching the whole time. then lied about ottoman soldier have gold in their stomach that they swallow it when they get raid by others. so arab raiders opened stomach of turks alive to find any golds in there. same arabs was with him later wrote the truth about what happened. idiots like you love the deception. go read what arabs that were with him wrote about him if you got balls that is fuckin idiot.

I thought Attack of the Dead Men was the best when the album came out, however while that song continued to be great, everytime i listened to Seven Pillars of Wisdom is just sounded better and better in my ears and they have now switched positions!
The thing is....we're debating gold vs gold... Sabaton being the best power metal band...like unless you're trying to say ballad of bull is better than primo Victoria.... It's just great music
And after all that, he joined the RAF, got kicked out, joined the tank regiment, got bored, got back into the RAF to work on boats, then was asked by Lady Houston to replace the Captain of her boat because he was "a wrong 'un". Fascinating life of an incredible man, who's country pretty much undid all the amazing work he'd done within the Arab nations in the first world war
Lawrence is sort of my idol. It's the best example of a brave gentleman officer, who knows and respect the native culture. And I feel very bad for Arabs betrayed by the British after the war - if the hardheads in London listened to T.E the Middle East would be a much better place by now
@@Ackalan I think you have misunderstood the op's comment. He said that the Middle East would have been in a better condition than nowadays. And no Middle East was not always a hellhole. If you can say that then you can also say the same about Europe, Asia, Africa and pretty much everywhere there were civilizations.
It cleared up one lyric I'd been consistently mishearing--"The Pillars of Wisdom can tell" kept coming up in my head as "the will of the West, one can tell". Which only makes half sense but worked well in context.
I live pretty much around where he lived after the war. His house is up the road from me, along with the site where he had his accident. The bike he was riding is in a local museum and I can walk to the church where he is laid to rest. He's everywhere!

I feel like no matter what you're doing, just listening to any Sabaton song makes it automatically more epic than before, I'm literally doing calculus homework listening to this and i feel like I'm going to save the world.
Remember watching Lawrence of Arabia with my grandparents (nan was a massive o'toole fan and granddad loved war flicks) good to see sabaton dedicating a song to a man history betrayed!
been a Sabaton fan for years now, however this is the song that gave me 'sabaton syndrome' where on my first listen i wasn't really a fan of it, couldn't tell you why i didn't like it at the time but i wasn't sold on it, several listens later and couple of years and it's now up there with my favourites, very strange phenomenon but it does exist lol.
FAR FROM HOME A MAN WITH A MISSION IN THE HEAT OF THE GLISTENING SUN IN THE HEART OF ANCIENT TRADITION TO GET MILK THIS MAN'S JOURNEY HAS ONLY BEGUN TO GET MILK
As the darkness falls and Arabia calls one man spreads his wings, as the battle begins may the land lay claim on to Lawrence name Seven pillars of wisdom lights the flame!!!
Just started learning about WW1 in history class recently, I was considering including the playlist for this in my next assignment I turn in. I wonder if my teacher already knows about Sabaton, if not I'll introduce him.
as someone whos great great grandpa served under larwence. i am very happy keep it up sabaton i wish my great great granpa was still here to tell his story.
At long last a mention of Arabian history in Sabaton! Wish the next one revolves more on the Arabs than a single English man. Been jamming to this since it was released.
I am a descendant of the Ottomans. And I don't consider the Arabs enemies. You are Muslims, we are brothers. And Lawrence, it turns out, took advantage of our differences for his own purposes.
I'm Spanish, and we've had our fair share of Islamic history (seven hundred years of islamization tends to have that effect on people). I don't know what other people around here think, but I believe there would be less racism and prejudice against Muslims if their history was taught correctly. That's just me, though; feel free to tell me your impressions on the topic.
I've been studying the Palestinian campaign of WW1 and T.E. Lawrence in particular lately (No particular reason other than immense curiosity), reading his autobiography and those of some that knew him during the campaign, (Such as "With Lawrence in Arabia" by Lowell Thomas) as well as reading some of the books that T.E. Lawrence cited as influences for him (such as "A history of the art of war in the middle ages" by C.W.C. Oman) and I just stumbled on this video by accident. It is absolutely amazing. I've since gone ahead and listened to the entire "The Great War" album several times today. While it is my understanding that Lawrence felt like he failed the Arab people and thought that his fame and status as a hero was undeserved, even turning down a knighting ceremony by the King of England in protest of the betrayal of the Arab people by the allied governments with the Sykes-Picot agreement, he was a man who accomplished some really incredible feats. One of my favorite historical figures. Interestingly, The Seven Pillars of Wisdom, although technically published in 1926, was not published publicly until 1935. The 1926 edition was a private edition primarily given away to close friends or family and only a few copies were actually sold (in some cases he actually wrote letters to the purchasers attempting to dissuade them from purchasing the book.). The abridged version of the book: "Revolt in the Desert" was printed publicly in 1927, but is, I believe, around half the length.
"Deception or treason... who CAN TELL, who stood to gain, who stood lose? who did the dying? betrayal of trust from within or compelled the pillars of wisdom CAN TELL" That was perfect.
This song will always have a special place in my heart cause one year ago on Oct. 5 I had this song stuck in my head when I had to put my best friend down. I was listening to Sabaton with him in my room a few days before I had to say goodbye. So Sabaton thank you for giving me good memories with my best friend.
As a malaysian,i would love to sing this song and teach other students about T.E Lawrence because he's in the "forgotten hero" list in my school,alot of people need to have some respect to a hero who helps other nation.
@@petbabyrammus8467 Their is debate if he knew the full plans of brass ir not. The thinking is he came with one mission then fell in love with the arabian people and tried to help them avoid british plans he feared but could not confirm were coming.
@@Denozo88 that's just romantisicing it. There isn't a single evidence that proves he did what he did for the Arabs. Especially if you look at the result nothing good cam out of it for them. Only for the British.
@@petbabyrammus8467 That maybr true but their is no evidence to prove he knew what about the Sykes-picot agreement. Part of the reasoning is his push for Damascus which was contrary to the fighting in the previous 2 years in the region by the fighters under his command.

I discovered one of my customers likes sabaton, the man came out to move his car and saw my sabaton hat and gave me a compliment on it, I’ve wore this hat for years and never once got a compliment, kinda made me happy.
This is the song that introduced me to Sabaton, just randomly popped up on my Pandora and I couldn’t be more happy and thankful to hear such a beautiful band.
@@burntchicken9411 lawrein did not destroy her, after the war, the government in ankara ignored the government in istanbul and rejected the agreements made
I think this is the best band ever. To think, I disregarded most of their material when I first heard them last year. If you like power metal, Sabaton is a must.

We try to honour all heroes around the world, Angelo. it's a hard job, because there are many of them, but we're working on it everyday!
Lawrence is sort of my idol. It's the best example of a brave gentleman officer, who knows and respect the native culture. And I feel very bad for Arabs betrayed by the British after the war - if the hardheads in London listened to T.E the Middle East would be a much better place by now
I think you've misunderstood how the middle east works. It's been a genocidal hellhole since before the dawn of civilization.
@@Ackalan a land where empires are born,
A land of violence and war
@@Ackalan the middle east was in fact the dawj of civilization
@@Ackalan I think you have misunderstood the op's comment. He said that the Middle East would have been in a better condition than nowadays. And no Middle East was not always a hellhole. If you can say that then you can also say the same about Europe, Asia, Africa and pretty much everywhere there were civilizations.
@@BilalBilal-xc5mc This is the opinion of someone who hasn't studied history in depth.
Finally some good music on YT
😎
well its Sabaton what do you expect not gonna get bad music from them are you
I think everyone has memorised this great song already - I suppose this is for new fans
Just in case, one never knows!
@@Sabaton Indeed. Keep up your great work!
It cleared up one lyric I'd been consistently mishearing--"The Pillars of Wisdom can tell" kept coming up in my head as "the will of the West, one can tell". Which only makes half sense but worked well in context.
@@Sabaton even the most moderate off-touch fans have all the songs by heart
¡Felíz cumpleaños Lawrence, que la historia jamas olvide tus hazañas!
Intentamos ayudar a mantener viva su memoria
And may his sacrifices never be in vain
I live pretty much around where he lived after the war. His house is up the road from me, along with the site where he had his accident. The bike he was riding is in a local museum and I can walk to the church where he is laid to rest. He's everywhere!
This ideo was uploaded in my birthday. I will take it like a present. Thanks you Sabaton!
Happy birthday!
A REVOLT TO GAIN INDEPENDENCE
"the british had lied"
the french: "ey don't forget about me!"
The Americans: "Us too!"
"the british had lied" sums up a good chunk of world history
@@goofyahhgamer4827 the (insert country) had lied Sums up all world history. Its not exclusive to Britain
@@piggysew797 yeah like I said though, the british had lied is a big chunk not all

We really need a Lawrence in Arabia right now
Hi lol
45th like ;)
Best comment
@@unholyromanempire9714 Your name's nice
I feel like no matter what you're doing, just listening to any Sabaton song makes it automatically more epic than before, I'm literally doing calculus homework listening to this and i feel like I'm going to save the world.
History class: Who are you?
Sabaton: I am you, but stronger.
"And better... And don't have as much bias"
FAR FROM HOME A MAN WITH A MISSION
IN THE HEAT OF THE GLISTENING SUN
IN THE HEART OF ANCIENT TRADITION
THIS MANS JOURNEY HAS ONLY BEGUN
Remember watching Lawrence of Arabia with my grandparents (nan was a massive o'toole fan and granddad loved war flicks) good to see sabaton dedicating a song to a man history betrayed!
been a Sabaton fan for years now, however this is the song that gave me 'sabaton syndrome' where on my first listen i wasn't really a fan of it, couldn't tell you why i didn't like it at the time but i wasn't sold on it, several listens later and couple of years and it's now up there with my favourites, very strange phenomenon but it does exist lol.
We're happy for that outcome

I literally live next to a desert and this make me want to go outside.
Then go!
Sabaton is one of those rare bands that dont make a single bad song
As the darkness falls and Arabia calls
one man spreads his wings, as the battle begins
may the land lay claim on to Lawrence name Seven pillars of wisdom lights the flame!!!
Britain: signs any form of agreement
Also Britain: You see, I was actually using an advanced technique called *LYING*
This is probably my all-time fovourite song!
We're glad to hear that!
Agreed
I had to watch the movie Lawrence of Arabia recently and I must say, you picked a great person to do a song for
They deserve the honor they never get but were promised, thank you sabaton for doing just that
Я не знаю что здесь комментируют иностранные товарищи, но я просто напишу: парни, вы невероятно крутые! Больше вашего творчества!!!!
Та же хуйня) песня топ) они, по ходу, обсуждают правдивость песни по отношению к личности Лоуренса

Короче ждём кавер от Олега)
@@АнтонМищенко-р9ш надеюсь будет!
Поддерживаю полностью) Жду не дождусь концерта у нас в городе)
I hunted down and baught an antique leather bound copy of the Seven Pillars of Wisdom because of this song.👍
Who let Sabaton write their best song ever... and then make it so short! Too good to ever end!
Sabaton is one of the many epic metal bands that make me keep playing guitar while feeling like a warrior
Love this band so much!
Just started learning about WW1 in history class recently, I was considering including the playlist for this in my next assignment I turn in. I wonder if my teacher already knows about Sabaton, if not I'll introduce him.
Please, do it!
So, how did it go?!
@@rhysgoodman7628 That was 8 months ago. 🤣
@@lilstubbs9553 I know!
Another song to fall in love with thanks Sabaton
I actually saw one of his robes in the National Army Museum in London. It was so cool and I was listening to this song through my headphones.
Ineresting thing that after he had returned to England , he died in car accident. What a tragic irony
as someone whos great great grandpa served under larwence. i am very happy keep it up sabaton i wish my great great granpa was still here to tell his story.
Just can't get enough!!! Amazing work gentlemen 👍
Thank you!
At long last a mention of Arabian history in Sabaton!
Wish the next one revolves more on the Arabs than a single English man.
Been jamming to this since it was released.
I am a descendant of the Ottomans. And I don't consider the Arabs enemies. You are Muslims, we are brothers. And Lawrence, it turns out, took advantage of our differences for his own purposes.
I'm Spanish, and we've had our fair share of Islamic history (seven hundred years of islamization tends to have that effect on people). I don't know what other people around here think, but I believe there would be less racism and prejudice against Muslims if their history was taught correctly. That's just me, though; feel free to tell me your impressions on the topic.
@@jorgegonzalezavila9376 thats really right. I agree with you
well their song counter strike mentions arabs but well on the losing side
I've been studying the Palestinian campaign of WW1 and T.E. Lawrence in particular lately (No particular reason other than immense curiosity), reading his autobiography and those of some that knew him during the campaign, (Such as "With Lawrence in Arabia" by Lowell Thomas) as well as reading some of the books that T.E. Lawrence cited as influences for him (such as "A history of the art of war in the middle ages" by C.W.C. Oman) and I just stumbled on this video by accident. It is absolutely amazing. I've since gone ahead and listened to the entire "The Great War" album several times today.
While it is my understanding that Lawrence felt like he failed the Arab people and thought that his fame and status as a hero was undeserved, even turning down a knighting ceremony by the King of England in protest of the betrayal of the Arab people by the allied governments with the Sykes-Picot agreement, he was a man who accomplished some really incredible feats. One of my favorite historical figures.
Interestingly, The Seven Pillars of Wisdom, although technically published in 1926, was not published publicly until 1935. The 1926 edition was a private edition primarily given away to close friends or family and only a few copies were actually sold (in some cases he actually wrote letters to the purchasers attempting to dissuade them from purchasing the book.). The abridged version of the book: "Revolt in the Desert" was printed publicly in 1927, but is, I believe, around half the length.
This song is those types of song I never get tired of hearing
"Deception or treason... who CAN TELL, who stood to gain, who stood lose? who did the dying? betrayal of trust from within or compelled the pillars of wisdom CAN TELL"
That was perfect.
This song will always have a special place in my heart cause one year ago on Oct. 5 I had this song stuck in my head when I had to put my best friend down. I was listening to Sabaton with him in my room a few days before I had to say goodbye. So Sabaton thank you for giving me good memories with my best friend.
How old was he/she?
@@marcosbradanovic9100 He was 6. I had him for 3 years cause I adopted him when he was 3.
Oh man way to get me teared up i wish you all the best buddy i couldnt imagine how id feel stay strong
As a malaysian,i would love to sing this song and teach other students about T.E Lawrence because he's in the "forgotten hero" list in my school,alot of people need to have some respect to a hero who helps other nation.
Wtf he just tricked Arabs for UK's benefits how is he a hero lol
@@petbabyrammus8467 Their is debate if he knew the full plans of brass ir not. The thinking is he came with one mission then fell in love with the arabian people and tried to help them avoid british plans he feared but could not confirm were coming.
@@Denozo88 that's just romantisicing it. There isn't a single evidence that proves he did what he did for the Arabs. Especially if you look at the result nothing good cam out of it for them. Only for the British.
@@petbabyrammus8467 That maybr true but their is no evidence to prove he knew what about the Sykes-picot agreement. Part of the reasoning is his push for Damascus which was contrary to the fighting in the previous 2 years in the region by the fighters under his command.
i am 31 now, and i only hear hardstyle and psytrance , but for sabaton i come back ever time :) hope to visit a concert in the future . hopefully in the north of germany
Greetings from Medina, Saudi Arabia
I discovered one of my customers likes sabaton, the man came out to move his car and saw my sabaton hat and gave me a compliment on it, I’ve wore this hat for years and never once got a compliment, kinda made me happy.
There were two WW1 heroes who had surname Lawrence. Everyone of them was a great soldier and extraordynary person.
Yet again their songs never cease to impress me.
I love Sabaton so much, their lyrics are so powerful that I want to go fight for Arabia, despite me not ever planning to even go there.
One of my favorite songs. This is literally the coolest form of learning about history. Stay save.
This is the song that introduced me to Sabaton, just randomly popped up on my Pandora and I couldn’t be more happy and thankful to hear such a beautiful band.
Tbh, *"THE SEVEN PILLARS OF WISDOM"* sounds like a really cool ultimate ability.
That just me?
Sounds like it would be T.E. Lawrence's Noble Phantasm if he were to become a Fate servant.
@@Hilversumborn oh your talking about that fate game series?
I have no idea wth the lore for that series is.
but yes
I love discovering songs of Sabaton I haven't already listened to
No historical fact in this comment, only here to say that it's amazing song, like every other from Sabaton!
Thank you for appreciating our music!
@@Sabaton Wow, still replying to comments, you're really great guys!
The power in this song is AMAZING
The first 15 seconds is perfection.
imagine being so cool people write a metal song about you 100 years later
"One man spreads his wings as the battle begins!"
Polish Winged Hussars: We taught him good.
lol
the training has paid of, master
Its 3am and im in my bed just listening to sabaton best time of my life
Happy to hear that! 🤘🤘
to think that the ottoman empire was still a thing 100 years ago feels weird
@@burntchicken9411 lawrein did not destroy her, after the war, the government in ankara ignored the government in istanbul and rejected the agreements made
@@yigit-ex7fu Yep, the turks led to the downfall of it all with their nationalist movement.
@@trying1407 a french told me that
@@trying1407
we were always nationalists, our former rulers always followed a Turkish policy
And Erdogan wants it back!!
For the line "One man spreads his wings as the battle begins" I for what ever reason always without fail hear "On asbestos wings..."
How can a single three minute song convey more emotion than most three hour movies?
Thought when i saw this: *Ooh, new video! Wait...I already know this song by heart...oh well! More Sabaton content is good content*
I don't why but every time I turn mjy phone down my mind Is yelling these lyrics inside me. Love your content Sabaton.
I swear, this song has one of the lyrically best chorus I have heard in my life
I think this is the best band ever. To think, I disregarded most of their material when I first heard them last year. If you like power metal, Sabaton is a must.
Good, yes. Amazing, yes. Best band ever? No.
I love the most how sabaton makes history songs so epic rock on!
May the legend rest in peace
